I'm talking about the version of movemail from XEmacs.  I just happen
to be using the Debian-distributed binary.  I don't know if Debian
made any changes to the XEmacs version like to the Emacs one.

Sure, but I'm not clear what the conditions should be.

What's the status of the contact with the Debian maintainer mentioned
in the Debian readme?  If nothings' happening, does someone want to
take a look at this for 21.3?  It's unfortunate if people running
self-built binaries on Debian risk losing mail.
